While the Norwegian women have consistently outperformed their male counterparts in international competitions, their compensation differential was substantial. The solution came about in part because of the contribution of 550,000 kroner by the male players from commercial national team appearance fees. The contribution helped increase the female’s financial pool to 6 million kroner, from its previous 3.1 million kroner total. REAL SPORTS editorial board chose this as the #1 Most Important Moment in Sports for 2017 because of the "why wouldn’t we pay men and women equally for representing our country" mindset of the Norwegians. “Norway is a country where equal standing is very important for us, so I think it is good for the country and for the sport,” Norway’s players’ union head Joachim Walltin said (via the BBC and The Washington Post). In contrast, the USA female players agreed to a new five-year agreement with USA soccer in April 2017 after more than a year of negotiations, which included the U.S. Senate siding with the players and calling for equal pay just prior to the 2016 Olympics. Despite filing a wage discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, citing female players got paid up to 40 percent less than men and were submitted to challenging working conditions (fields not ready for play, among other issues); the women failed to achieve parity. The women did though negotiate two years of back pay for unequal per diems and better benefits for players as well as salary and bonus improvements. SPORTS PERSON OF THE YEAR • It’s been four decades since an American woman has won the New York City Marathon. • In 2017, Shalane Flanagan did so in two hours, twenty-six minutes and 53 seconds. • Flanagan, a 36-year-old Olympic medalist, beat three-time defending champion Mary Keitany of Kenya. • Flanagan holds the American record times in the 3000 meters, 5000 meters and 15K road race. • She also won the bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics in the 10,000 m (since upgraded to silver). • REAL SPORTS congratulates Shalane Flanagan on an outstanding performance and reminds readers everyone: Never underestimate the drive and determination of an athlete.

  • Geno Vs.Pat.Rtf
    Geno vs. Pat: The Matchup ATLANTA (AP) – Tennessee's Pat Summitt is the stern disciplinarian with an icy glare, yet her players consider her a surrogate mother. Connecticut's Geno Auriemma is the ultimate agitator, a wisecracking needler who enjoys zinging friend and foe alike. Who else would call Summitt's program the "Evil Empire?" Different personalities to be sure, but two intensely competitive coaches with the same goal. Their teams meet Tuesday night to decide the national championship in women's basketball, the latest installment of the sport's hottest rivalry. Tennessee (33-4) has six titles but none since 1998. Connecticut (36-1) has won two of the last three championships and three overall. "Strictly from good theater, you couldn't ask for a better matchup," Auriemma said. That theater extends to the coaching rivalry. Both insist they don't dislike each other. They even chatted for 15 minutes or so Monday when they crossed paths in the Georgia Dome. But friends? Hardly. Summitt invited Villanova coach Harry Perretta and his team – the only one to beat UConn this season – to her house for a cookout before the Mideast Regional in Knoxville. The East Tennessee mountains would turn into flatland before Auriemma secured such an invite. "We're not talking on the phone every week," Summitt said. "As a matter of fact, we don't talk on the phone. But I would just say that you have a great rivalry and certainly a coach that I respect tremendously." Auriemma caused a stir when he needled Perretta, one of his good friends, over his relationship with Summitt, saying the Villanova coach had "dumped me for the Evil Empire." Hey, Auriemma pleaded, lighten up.

Douglas was the 2000 and 2001 Big Ten Player of the Year, and was named the 2001 Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year. A two-time All-Big Ten pick, Douglas is one of six Purdue players under Curry to earn fi rst team all-conference honors. Shereka Wright, now an assistant on Curry’s staff at Tech, was the 2000 USA Today and Gatorade High School Player of the Year out of Copperas Cove, Texas, and fi nished her four-year career under Curry as Purdue’s second all-time leading scorer. Following her senior season, in which she led the Big Ten in scoring in conference games, Wright earned fi rst team honors on the inaugural Wooden Women’s All-America Team. Lubbock native Erika Valek, a four-year starting point guard for the Boilermakers, capped her career by winning the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the nation’s top player under 5-foot-8. The on-court success of her teams has carried over into the classroom as well. Twenty-four times her student-athletes received Academic All-Big Ten distinction since 2000. Every Boilermaker who fi nished her playing career at Purdue during Curry’s tenure graduated. Curry began her coaching profession in her home state of Louisiana as she started at the prep level at Weston (1988-90) and Mansfi eld (1990-91) high schools.
